BAT Launches Campaign to Raise Awareness of Nicotine Products
BAT launches nationwide campaign to raise awareness of e-cigarette and nicotine products' risks to prevent sales to minors.

According to the Polish media dziennik.pl reported on May 28, British American Tobacco Poland (BAT) has launched a comprehensive campaign aimed at increasing salespeople's awareness of e-cigarettes and nicotine products known as "reduced risk," which are intended for adult use only. The company emphasizes that if there is any reason to suspect that these products may be passed on to minors through adults, sales of any nicotine products should be refused.

 

The report states that BAT's campaign is calling on all sellers and their employees, including those selling e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products, smokeless tobacco pouches, nicotine e-liquids, and various accessories for consuming nicotine products, to take proactive and responsible steps to refuse sales to minors.

 

Blagoje Jovanovic, General Manager of BAT in Poland and the Baltics, states that they have consistently opposed providing nicotine products to minors. He reminds the public that their sales network has been advocating for this for many years. However, the issue still persists, and they will support anyone interested in addressing this matter.

 

He said, "Therefore, at the end of May this year, we will be using special visual communication messages within our own sales network, while also calling on all those who provide nicotine products. Our activities are also aimed at raising awareness of the importance of refusing to engage in illegal transactions.

 

In addition, BAT will conduct extensive promotion through national media and social media. This is the fourth round of a nationwide campaign by BAT with the slogan #ZER0K0MPROMISÓW to resist underage use of nicotine products, with the first round taking place in the fall of 2020.

Malaysia to Ban Vaping Nationwide in Phases, Starting with “Open-System” Devices
Malaysia will roll out a phased nationwide vape ban, beginning with reusable “open-system” devices that can be manually refilled, before expanding to all vape products. The government is finalising a Cabinet paper and reviewing current controls. Public health groups back the move, while industry bodies warn a blanket ban could drive the trade underground. The vape market has grown rapidly, and cross-border links with Singapore—where enforcement has intensified—are drawing scrutiny.
